Read about Summer's experience in her letter to National American Miss below:
NAM,
It was my first "big girl" pageant and I could not have been more excited or inexperienced! As a country girl from a rural town in Illinois my family and I's journey to St. Charles IL to attend the NAM Jr Pre Teen pageant in 2002 was one I will never forget. Although I arrived only expecting a fun experience I walked away with the title and an offer to attend Nationals. My year taught me the importance of public speaking and the impact I could have on others even as a 9 year old. After my reign ended, my journey with NAM did not. I continued to compete for the system for 7 years placing in the top 5 six times and the top fifteen the remaining year. I was also fortunate to place numerous times in the top of the Spokesmodel, Actress, and Talent competitions. Again in 2012 I was fortunate to find the crown and compete at Nationals where I placed in the Top 10! My journey with NAM has been incredible and I am honored to have been both an Illinois Jr Pre Teen and Teen titleholder. Of all the amazing experiences that I have had with NAM my experience in an interview has been the most rewarding. Last week I was humbled to have an interview with the school of my dreams, Harvard! NAM has taught me the skills of confidence and poise and I put them to use in my journey finding my future college. I cannot thank NAM enough for everything they have taught me!
